Flutter/Dart: DateFormat (using intl): how to remove zero prefix?

Question

I am using intl pakage's DateFormat class to format dates with a format like this:

_standardDateFormat = DateFormat('MMM dd, yyyy');

This produces strings like Feb 01, 2023.

How can I have the date without the prefix of 0 when it's a single-digit date? I would like to show Feb 1, 2023. I have tried d, dd, c but they all render with the prefixed 0.

If it's a double-digit date, I would of course like to show both digits: Mar 13, 2023.

A single d should work (DateFormat('MMM d, yyyy')), and it works when I try it. Can you double-check that it is not working for you? If not, please post a minimal, reproducible example. — jamesdlin

I posted an update. It did work, but I needed to restart the build for some reason (not sure why)... Thanks! — or9ob

If you mean that you didn't observe any change when doing a hot reload, then there are a variety of reasons why hot reload might not include a change. It's hard to say why it didn't work in your case without seeing your code. — jamesdlin

Update: the single d format is indeed working, but I needed to restart flutter build to see the effect (not sure why).
